Any outage that costs more than paying an engineer to be on-call is worth it. It's not that complex. If an outage blocks 10000 people from doing their work, it's obviously worth it to wake someone up to try to resolve it half a day sooner. (Someone you've been paying specifically for this purpose!)

Being paid to be on-call is not your personal time.
